Benedetto Cavalieri has been making this pasta in Lecce in the region of Puglia using the same traditional method since 1918. In Benedetto Cavalieri's "delicate method", water and durum wheat are kneaded together and processed slowly and gently. To form the pasta into a variety of traditional shapes, the dough is extruded through antique rough bronze dies and dried gradually at room temperature. The result of this dedication to tradition and attention to detail is a pasta with the distinct fragrance and flavor of wheat and a satisfying chew that is typical of high-quality pasta made the authentic, old-fashioned, artisanal way. Sauce this special pasta sparingly so you can taste the difference between it and the pasta you buy at the supermarket.

Cousin to the longer Tubetti pasta, these minature Tubettini are just a smaller, shorter version of pasta. Use as you would orzo, mixing into soups, pesto sauces, or finely diced prosciutto and butter.

living in the Midwest, I could not find the tubettini pasta - they made it easy to shop online, product was shipped quickly. Love the pasta!

IGOURMET SERVICE

I am not going to review a product today but will talk about the customer service of IGOURMET.
If you are looking for great, hard-to-find products and insist on fabulous customer service, IGOURMET is the place for you.
I made my last order two days ago and it
has already arrived - every item perfect. We stock up with products every three weeks or so and only once was there a slight problem, which was resolved immediately...thanks to the stellar customer service people.
I can't recommend this company highly enough and I'm so grateful they're in business. Down here in Miami it's tough to find the real good stuff. Thank you IGOURMET.
